Washington Irving liishop, the
great mind reader, is creating
quite a sensation in Portland by
tlie display of his trickery. His
latest freak was the leading of one
of Portland's supposed murder
ers to the scene of his crime, and
personating the moves of the
murderer while in the act of com
mitting the crime. As a matter
of course the supposed criminal
was overcome with fright and
trembled with fear as one who
had seen a ghost, but he failed to j
make any confessions, nor could
the "mind reader" produce any
affects that would be admissable
as evidence in court.
A CRIMINAL ASSAULT.
The Editor of the Long: Creek Eagle
Shot an 5 Dangerously
Wounded.
A BAD MAN WITH A PISTOL.
From Ben Erway, who carries
the mail between here and Long
Creek we learn of a serious shoot
ing scrape that occurred in the
latter burg on Tuesday morning,
Jan. 31st. in which P. J. Con
nolly, editor of the "Eagle," better
known as "Peter the Poet," was
shot twice by a would-be ''bad
man," one shot taking effect in
the groin and the other in the arm.
The shootist was Tom Wil
liams, whom the shootee had
spoken of in his paper as "a hard
rooster," "pistol man," "a slog
ger," etc., and after sbooting the
shootee he armed himself with a
Winchester rifle and fired several
shots at Ed Allen, who was act
ing as constable, and endeavor
ing to arrest him, one shot graz-
ing Aliens foot and killing the
horse which he rode. V il hams
Finally gave himself up, and was
r i! i i-
being closely guarded, pending j
the result of Connolly s wounds.
The trouble grew out of an ar
ticle published in the paper that
morning, charging Williams with
immoral conduct, which if true
(and an editor will seldom take
the responsibility upon himself
to publish an article unless it has
some semblance of truth), would
ostracise him from the society of
respectable people forever. Wil
liams was charged with saving
that the women of Long Creek,
in general, were no better than
prostitutes, and that Long Creek
was one great house of ill-fame.
Such assertions as these, if not
taken up and resented by the
husbands, fathers and brothers
of the ladies of Long Creek would
show them to be veritable
cowards, and Peter gave this
fiend this monster in human
form such a "raking down"
in his paper that, smarting under
the well deserved chastisement,
he demanded "blood," and while
Peter was delivering his paper to
its subscribers, just because he
had dared to voice the sentiments
of a portion of the community,
he must be attacked in a coward
ly manner and shot down like a
d'og.
When society attains such a
pitch that it is unsafe for a por
tion of any community to defend
the honor of those who are more
dear to them than life itself, it is
time for the respectable class to
rise up and do something. When
the virtue of their wives, mothers
sisters and daughters is assailed,
and thev are classed, one and
all, with the unfortunate shame-

articles which the United States
has abundant raw material and
labor to produce ought to be pro

Gerard, the old English bota

lon, where, according to some,
paradise was situated there exists
a tremendous banana tree, the
fruit of which, when cut trans
versely, presents the figure of a
man crucified, and local tradi
tion asserts that from its huge
leaves Adam and Eve made gar
ments for themselves. But
whether Adam ate the banana
in the Garden or Eden or not
must be a matter of complete
indifference to those who live in
the nineteenth century, yet if
the banana be the. tree that pro
duced the forbidden fruit that
'the woman saw was good for

she was tempted to eat it. Ex.

Fordo-nothingness, the present
Congress is a long ways ahead of
all its predecessors. The House
Committee on commerce havo the
subject of the Reading railroad
now before them- It has been in
foimally discussed, and the fact
developed, that about ouo half the
committee are opposed tany Con
gressional investigation, believing
if ouv is necessary, it is within
the province of tho Inter-State
Commerce Commission to make
it. The question will be called
up again to-moirow, when a dele
gation of Knights of Labor who
want a Congressional investiga
tion, will endeavor to get a hear
ing. Congressional investigation are
always popular with a certain
class of Congressmen, jjarlicularly
if the corpoiations and individuals
happen to be wealthy. Impecuni
ous Congressmen want all the op
portunity for fat pickings that
they cau get, and they are sure to
make the most of their opportuni
ties. The latest proposed inves
tigation is that provided by Mr.
Mason's bill, which proposes to
empower a Congressional commit-
i tee to investigate all the trusts and
i combines that have been entered
into by firniR, corporations, and
individuals in Coal, Sugar, Min
ing, ar.d kindred subjects. The
House Committee on Manufac
tures h us unanimously agr(ed to
report this bill favoiably and they
are- expected to do so early th s
week. Then these impecunious
Congressmen will begin to in
dulge in champagno and terrapin
stew, nnd to ride to and from the
Capitol in coupes instead of the
plebeian street cars and berdics.
It is said there is a strong lobby
with unlimited cash behind them,
who are here for the express pur
pose of opposing Ibis bill. If it
were not for this lobby it is ex
trojtnely doubtful whether the in
vestigation would ever have been
proposed.
Just wiry Secretary Vilas, late
Postmaster General, shoulc.bave
been willing and apparently anxi
ous to go down a grade in oflicial
dignity as he did in accepting the
portfolio of the Interior Depart
ment, has been quite puzzling to
n great many people- The whole
matter was explained, however,
by the following official order
vh:eh was made public on Satur
day. Secretary Yilas has relieved As
sistant Secretary Muldrow of the
care of suj ervising laud decisions,
nnd in the future he will devote
bis personal attention to them:
Which irenns in plain English

Keep your eye on Vilas and his

The Postoflice Department has

struction that the Department

new law re cived the President '

The anti-Randall Democrats in
Congress uie wild with joy over
the defeat of tfee llandall candi
date U r the rhaiunanship of the
Democratic Stale Central Commit
tee, of Pennsylvania, and the
passage by that committe of a res
olution strongly endorsing Cleve
land and commending his recom
mendation for reducing the
tariff. Mr. llandall keeps cool,
and says the result will not change
his legislative course one iota; but
he docs not intimate what that
course will bo during the present
session of Congress. But it, is
safe to say that his opinion on the
tariff has not undergone any
change since the adjournment of
the foi tv-uiuth Congress. It is
claimed by anti-internal revenue
men, that Randall is with them in
their extremest measures, while
others will tell you that he ouly
favors the abolition of the tobac
co tax; and still a few, very few,
others will tell you that he will
favor tbo bill for reducing the
tariff, that will be reported by the
Committee on Ways and Means.
The fact of the matter is, no one
knows what Randall intends do
ing. Ho has not commi'.ted him
self. His ememies think that his
defeat iu Pennsylvania w 11 de
prive him of some of bis prestige
and power in the House. We

sine," the trinity, from which all sort
if comparisons could be drawn, woa a
leusation which drew a crowd of little
folks nnd servants. The little folks
talked about it at home, aud no he w.cj
idvtrti&crf, nud his example pointu a
uior.il. It is this: to gay a remedy will
relieve, lor instance, bt uot saving much.
Th? beat from the frictiuu of the bund
will sou.ctimed do tiiat. N't.r i it all
ii say it will cure; for the ture may
be tcnijKirary nml the pain muy re
turn; nor will it do to boat of u t er
mini en t cure, uulcMt there its uo rcbtpe,
uo return of pain for a good length ol
time against t-hangca ot vtealhci. But
X remedy which relieves all pain
promptly and surely, which relit;!" is a
cure beyond all question, which cure ia
proved iu n thousand eases permanent
beyond any fear of relaixe, is a "com
biuo" of virtues beyond all competition,
upon which the public eye is fixed.
And this is the superior merit of St.
JacoliR Oil. As a prooi", Mr. 11. U. Troll,
Western Union Telegraph Co., St. Louis,
Mo., statew: "In March, 18dl, I sulli-rcd
terribly with neuralgia. 1 applied St.
Jacobs Oil at g.40; nt U A. M. weut to
work. Iu live minutes after the pain
was gone. I have never had it vurr;
that one application cured me," These
points repeated in o nnuiy instances
arc given to clinch its suptriority. As
in the ca.se of the hucliatu, it is not a
liujjle tiling that tests. I.', is not one
but many virtues that are required to
subdue pain, and this combination, by
long years of experiment has proved
itself unfailing in eflieacy and unsur
passed in merit.
